Church of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Roman Catholic church in Toowong, Australia.

The Church of Saint Ignatius Loyola at 46 Grove Street features orange and brown brickwork topped with Roman terracotta tiles against a steep slope.

Archbishop James Duhig initiated the construction of this Romanesque Revival church between 1929 and 1936 as part of Brisbane's religious building program.

The church interior contains high-quality altars created by H Credington of Melbourne and stained glass windows crafted by John Hardman of London.

The church maintains regular services and includes a car park established through site excavations completed between 1933 and 1936.

The sanctuary and pulpit showcase extensive scagliola work, representing the only substantial application of this artificial stone technique in Queensland.
